"WTC-91101".. I and II
by Madelyn

I.)
The world of the worlds
The heart of all hearts
The lost of all lost
Love Lost in the World of no Hearts
The ugly face of war
The face of fear
The many faces of the dead
The families come to an end
The terror seen through these eyes
I am the six year old looking for mommy
I am the elderly man searching for my granddaughter I cant find
I am the firefighter bleeding sweat
The nurse covered in tears
Its my brother lying bear on that floor
The mother to be, who cannot breath
The man just walking through the halls
Who didn't know the walls would fall....

II.)
The tears cant stop from flowing
My family
Buried beneath that rubble
Mommy cannot be found
Daddy said good-bye then closed his eyes
My baby
My four year old burned in the dark
I cannot see
I fall but I cant give up
I see a man
He's hurt
I give him a mask and ask him to run
This thick dust my lungs can't work no more
I've ran this far
To breath much more
I see the ambulence lights seeping through this smoke
I reach out but they can't see me
They find the man i helped
But my cry they cannot hear
I remember God, as I close my eyes
It was meant to be
That man is saved
So i must go, he's calling.
And in the end its all Okay..
My love is reaching out to all my family
Remember me
Til tomorrow..Good-bye..
Signed me, dear me
I worked on the ninety-seventh floor
